The city of Madison will host two upcoming open house events in preparation for the launch of Madison’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, Metro Rapid Route A. These events will offer a sneak peek at the new stations and buses, with opportunities to ask questions and try out some of the new features including level boarding, self-securing wheelchair restraints, and onboard bicycle racks.

Attendees will also have a chance to pick up a new Fast Fare card, which can be used across Metro’s system starting this fall.

The open houses will be held Friday, Sept. 6, from noon–3 p.m. and Tuesday, Sept. 10, 4–7 p.m. at the Baldwin Street Station, located at the intersection of East Washington Avenue and Baldwin Street. For more information, call (608) 266-4466.
